Salmon With Potatoes And Horseradish Tarragon Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Toss the potatoes in 1 tablespoon olive oil and spread them out evenly on a sheet pan, cut-side down. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few turns of black pepper. Roast for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, toss the potatoes and push them off to the side of the pan. Place the broccolini in the center third of the sheet pan and the salmon on the remaining third. Drizzle the broccolini and salmon with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few turns of black pepper. Roast until the salmon is cooked through, about another 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, capers, horseradish and some black pepper with the juice of half a lemon in a medium bowl and stir. Taste and adjust as desired.
• When the salmon is cooked, squeeze the remaining lemon half over the top of everything and serve with the sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees and liberally grease a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with butter. Slice the potatoes paper-thin (less than 1/8-inch thick) and line the dish with the potatoes, slightly overlapping them as you arrange them in an even layer. Season generously with salt and pepper, dot with the shallots and bake until the potatoes are almost cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the horseradish-tarragon sauce: Add the sour cream, prepared horseradish, 2 tablespoons each tarragon and chives, white pepper (if using) and 1 teaspoon salt to a medium bowl and stir to combine. Refrigerate. (This makes about 1 1/3 cups.)
• Sprinkle the salmon with the paprika and season with salt. Remove the dish from the oven and gently place the salmon on top of the potatoes. Brush 2 to 3 tablespoons of the horseradish-tarragon sauce over the salmon to coat, then bake until the fish flakes with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet.
• Sprinkle the fish with the remaining 1 tablespoon each tarragon and chives. Serve with the remaining horseradish-tarragon sauce.

Steps:

• Make sauce
• Pick enough tarragon leaves to measure 1/2 cup (do not pack). Chop enough chives to measure 1/3 cup. Coarsely chop shallot. In a food processor puree tarragon, chives, and shallot with remaining sauce ingredients until smooth and season with salt and pepper. Sauce may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring sauce to cool room temperature before serving.
• Make Fish
• In a deep 10-inch skillet bring wine and water to a simmer, covered. Cut salmon into 6 pieces and season with salt and pepper. Submerge 3 salmon pieces, skin sides down, in simmering liquid (add hot water if necessary to just cover salmon) and poach at a bare simmer, covered, 8 minutes, or until just cooked through. Transfer cooked salmon with a slotted spatula to a platter to cool and poach remaining salmon in same manner. When salmon is cool enough to handle, peel off skin and if desired with a sharp knife scrape off any dark meat. Salmon may be cooked 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring salmon to cool room temperature before serving.
• Assemble
• Cut potatoes lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick slices. In a steamer set over boiling water steam potatoes until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Spoon sauce onto 6 plates and arrange some potatoes in a circle, overlapping slightly, on top of sauce . Season potatoes with salt and arrange salmon on top of potatoes. Garnish salmon with peas.

Steps:

• Combine the horseradish, sour cream, mustard and tarragon leaves in a bowl. Mix thoroughly and add vinegar to taste. Season with salt and pepper.
• Put the sauce in two small bowls.
